4.9 Work Instructions
Driving speed
TheX-Presscanbedrivenatspeedsofup
to12km/h.
Thisdependsontheeldconditions(type
ofsoil,surfacetrash,etc.).
Drivemoreslowlyiftheconditionsaredif-
cultorarmernishisrequired.
Turning:
Beforeturning,onmachinestted
with a standard DD700 roll, the
machine should be eased out of
workontotherearrollwhiledriving
andshouldbeeasedbackintowork
oncetheturnhasbeencompleted.
OnmachinesttedwithaDDLight
rollthemachineshouldbeeased
out of work onto the transport
wheels before turning. Under no
circumstancesshouldtheDDLight
rollbeincontactwiththesoilwhilst
turningthemachine.
4.10 Checks
The working quality depends on the
adjustmentsandchecksmadepriortoand
duringwork,aswellasonregularservicing
andmaintenanceofthemachine.
Before beginning work it is therefore
important to carry out any necessary
servicingandtolubricatethemachineas
required.
Checks prior to, and during
work:
•Isthemachinecorrectlyhitchedupandthe
couplingdevicelocked?
•Havethehydrauliclinesbeenconnected
accordingtothecolourcoding?
•Isthemachineinaleveloperatingposition
andtheworkingdepthsetcorrectly?
Working Elements
•Arethediscsandothercultivationtoolsin
aserviceablecondition?
•Arethescrapersstilloperable,sothatthe
rollsdonotjam?
4.8 Adjusting Disc Frame
Depth
Adjustment of the disc frame depth is
achievedbylengtheningorshorteningthe
adjusters as required in combination with
raisingorloweringthediscframesrelative
to the DD roller by adding or removing
drawbar shims (for example, to increase
discdepthremovedrawbarshimsandadjust
theturnbuckleasrequired).Onceset,the
adjustersshouldbelockedbyaddingshims
tothelowerendthreadandtightening.
Tochangethesettingsitisadvisabletolift
thediscframesjustclearofthegroundso
thattheadjusterscanbelengthenedenough
tottheamountofshimsrequired.When
theshimshavebeenttedthemachinecan
belowered,makingiteasiertotightenthe
adjusteragainsttheshims.
Parking the Machine
In order to avoid damage as a result of
moisture,themachineshouldbeparked,if
possible,indoorsorundercover.
Whenmanoeuvringthemachine,
payattentiontoyoursurroundings.
Ensurethatnobody(children!)is
inthemanoeuvringarea.
•Parkthemachineonlevelandsolidground.
•Fitwheelchocks.
•Withthemachineraisedmovetheparking
standsintoposition.
•Lowerthemachineontotheparkingstands
ensuringthatitisstable.
•Removethedrawbarpinanddriveforward
slowlyuntilhitchisclearoftractordrawbar.
•Lowerthedrawbartotheground.
•Switchoffthetractor.
•Disconnecthydrauliclinesfromthetractor.
